Of that oppor- tunity. gentlemen. you have availed your- self. in spite of the fact that at the present time your thoughts must be occupied with the great loss which you have sustained in the retirement of my predecessor, whose unremitting attention to your interests and whose careful study of the affairs of the Dominion have earned for him so large a share of your respect and sfieotion. Of myself you have spoken in terms far too generous and indulgent. The warmth of your reception, the numerous manifests- tions of hospitality which were exhibited enour arrival on Monday. and all along our route through the broad streets of your town, through your spacious suburbs, and t the stately buildings of your Legisfiure, have touched us deeply. They are a convincing proof that the citizens of the national capital arereadytogive me credit for a sincere desire to devote my best energies to their service. and that they will extend their confidence to me until I have shown myself to be unworthy of it. One word more : I am reminded by the concluding passage of your address that this compli- ment has been paid to me by abody in whose members I recognize not only the municipal representatives of the capital, but the neighbors who will during the next fewyears of my life surround me in my Canadian home. Let me express the leasnre with which, at a moment when I ave hadto sever my cherished associa- tions in my own country, I have heard from the lips of the Chief Magistrate of Ottawa the expression of a derire that not only the Governor-General but Lady Lans- downe and our family may feel, I will use your own words. for I can find none nearly so appropriate “ at home ” and “ happy in your midst.” Bxdllng Scene In I Cincinnati School. Alaet (Tuesdayylight's Cincinnati, 0.. deepatch says: esterday morning a thrilling accident and panic occurred at Father Robert Doyle’s parochial school on Clark street. The school contains about 850 pupils. ranging from 5 to 16 years, and is presided over by Father Doyle. assisted by annmher of Sisters of Mercy as teach- ers. While the girls were reciting their morning lessons little hdaggie _MoOole._ 6 years of age. daughter of Martin McCole, waterworks employee, residing at 231 Court street, went to a stove in front of the room on the first floor to dry her slate. There was a musing fire and the stove door stood wide open. The draft drew her light calico shirt into the blaze. Like lightning it caught. and she was enveloped in flames. She screamed and ran hither and thither in the room. The scene that followed beggars description. The children throughout the building raised their voices in cries of fire and for help. and rushed through the narrow doors and down the steep stair- ways for the entrance on Clark street. There they ran down the steep steps to the street a struggling mass of humanity. their little faces rigid with fright. In the meantime the little girl who was burning had found the door of the school-room and ran madly along the hall-way toward the front door. As she ran the flames streamed out behind her. and her shrieks were heartrending. One of the Sisters of Mercy had presence of mind enough to snatch a doormat and follow her. Just as the burning child reached the doorway a Sister caught her and threw the door-mat about her shrinking form. Several men who were passing ran to the rescue, and costs were thrown around the child. smothering the flames. Some one cried. “Tear her clothes off." Portions of her burned gar- ments were rent from her. and her quiver- ing.blistered back was disclosed to view, but the fire was out. The physicians say that Maggie McCole cannot live. In the excitement and rush many scholars were severely injured. and, considering every- thing. they had a miraculous escape from a terrible fate. Ir. T.

The September report of the English Commissioners of Inland revenue shows in England during the year ending last March the revenue from excise duties on spirits decreased £62,296. and upon beer £130,451. The quantity of spirits consumed as a beverage decreased in England by 294,270 gallons, and in Scotland by 46,254 gallons; but in Ireland there was an increase of 215 667 gallons; thus the net decrease for the United Kingdom was 94,857 gallons. The Commissioners remark: “ There cannot be any doubt that in some localities the spread of temperance princi. plan has already caused a marked diminu- tion in the consumption of intoxicating liquors, and the tendency is still increae. lug. On the other hand, it is remarkable to find in Ireland. in spite of a decrease of population an increased consumption of 246.867 gallons." Attempt to Founder n Vessel by Boring Holes In the Bottom. ADetroit telegram says: The Chicago- Times says the Canadian schooner Bangag lore, “which wet a large portion of her care of san on h 2 trip to this port. was placed in th dry-dock to have the leaks stopped. Her captain concluded to inspect her him- self. Imagine his suiprise when he made the discovery that there were halt a dozen auger holes in the Bangslore's bottom, evidently driven from above. The auger used was a very small one, else the vessel ‘ would undoubtedly have foundered on the trip up. As it is, her escape is a very nar- row one. It is not known where or when the holes were bored. It is evident that he plugged the holes up after boring them. just about tightly enough for them to work out when the vessel was rolling in the sea- way. There is but little room to doubt that it was a deliberate attempt to founder the craft. The Bangalore is owned by A. Gunn 00., of Kingston. and valued at $11,000. It will take about two days to complete her repairs, when she will load corn for Kingston. A Former Wealthy Society Lady at Chicago Clerkln' in a New York Store. Mrs. Herbert G. Ayer, until recently a leader in north side society, is now engaged as a saleslady in the store of Bypher 00., bricabrac dealers, in New York city. Her husband failed for a large amount in Chicago last winter. After the failure Mrs. Ayer took her furniture and the remnants of the collection of curios and antiques, valued at 840,000, which she had pur- chased at difierent times of Sypher ct: 00., of New York. and furnished the house 120 West 13th street, which she has just rented to Mrs. Langtry. Mrs. Ayer and her two daughters are stopping at the Colonade. She says several large firms, knowing she was a connoisseur in the line of bric~a-brac, offered her an interest to come with them. but she decided to accept Mr. Sypher’s offer. She is to travel in Europe to make purchases, and is allowed many other rivileges. Still she says it is pretty hard or a woman of fashion. who for fifteen years never breakfasted out of her room, to be obliged to arise early every morning at 6 o'clock. Mrs. Ayer‘s father was the eighth white voter of Chicago, and her uncle, Gurdon S. Hubbard, is the oldest settler here.

Supposed Dealh. ‘ A Black River Falls (Wis) telegram says : The sensation of to-day is the return to life of ayoung lady who, to all appearances, had been dead three days. Miss Lena Richman, daughter of a Wealthy German, had been sick for some weeks, and died, as was supposed. The body was prepared for burial. There were fears in the minds of some that the appearance or the young lady's face did not indicate death, but on the fourth day the funeral was held. While the ceremony was in progress Dr. Baxter, of Milwaukee. seeing the face of the supposed corpse, asked that the service mightbe interrupted long enough for him to attempt resuscita- tion. This was done, and he succeeded so well that the woman arose from the cofiin with a terrible shriek. The scene which IOIIOWed was highly exciting. Men turned pale with horror. and women tainted. it was a long time before anything like quiet was restored. Yesterday many calledto see and congratulate the lady, whom they never thought to see again in this world.

A presentation was there made to the captain of the Eclipse, and while the company were all absent a watchman on a dredge and three others boarded the boat. They searched the doctor’s efiects and found a bottle labelled " lime juice." The men thought they had captured some liquor and proceeded to drink the contents of the bottle.

At Sandwich (Essex) Assizes Friday, Henry Russell Greenwood and Harry Harding. who were on the previous day convicted o! murdering William Maher. were brought up to receive sentence. When asked what they had to say, Greenwood denied drugging the deceased or having any intention to murder him or cause his death ; that on the contrary, he took him to the house of Williamson, where he left him in perfect health. He said he must have been subjected to exposure after being left there. which he understood was the case. He denied having any intention to rob the deceased. but said he received the 350 from Maher, who paid it to him in an hotel where they stopped. He said he did not deny but that the money was obtained under false pretenoes. Harding said but very little. He denied having any inten- tion to murder Maher. His Lordship said the evidence fully warranted the jury in finding them guilty, but he could not say what action the Executive might take in considering the case upon any application that might be made by the prisoners. He then sentenced them both to be hanged on the 12th of December next. Jury man Hugh Cooper then arose and said that there8 had been a serious doubt with many of them as to the {resence of malice. He also said that they thought that the recommendation to mercy would cover this doubt. Judge Galt-oJuet so. gentlemen. I thought there was a doubt in your minds.

Our honeymoon was not a week old before I was smarting from a blow he gave meâ€"not a heavy blow. your honor. but a blow. and it hurt me more here than on my arm (pointing to her heart).

Another interval of misery. and again I found myself beneath his roof. He had come for me without solicitation. That was five months ago. The old life of misery began again, and. when I could no longer bear it and live, I escaped from him and swore that land my child should die of starvation before we would go back a gain. I found- a haven of rest at the farm of the good man (pointing to the elderly person. Farmer Hanck. charged wnth marrying her. knowing her to have a husband iving). He heard my story, and he pitied me.

I don't wish you to believe I was madly in love with him. I was not. I honored him ; he was my friend. and God only knows how greatly I needed friends. I married him. and the only sorrow I have is that by doing so I have placed him in a criminal light and caused him the sufiering of arrest.
